I'm not sure what went wrong, but this recipe did not turn out well for me. The chicken was tough and the wild rice was bland.

This recipe was a complete disaster. The chicken was burnt and the wild rice was mushy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There were too many steps and it took too long to make.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices or herbs to give it more flavor.
